Rabbit Hutches:

Housing your Bunny is as important as choosing him, as a good quality well constructed hutch play's an important roll in his well being.

Points to look for when choosing his Hutch:

Construction should be of good quality exterior ply or planking, make sure there are no gaps between the planks as this could cause a draft in bad weather.

His hutch must be on legs or raised of the ground to avoid damp and insect infestation.

One end of the hutch must have a private sleeping/shelter area. ( In larger breeding hutches this area also serves as the nesting quarters.)

The doorways must give easy access to all areas of the hutch for cleaning.

The mesh on the wire door should be Rabbit proof 16g 25 mm x 25 mm (1"x 1") is best.

The roof  must be covered with waterproof felt and firmly secured.

All timber must be treated with an Animal Safe weather repellent timber treatment.

Rabbit Runs:

Construction should be of good quality exterior ply or planking, make sure there are no gaps between the planks as this could cause a draft in bad weather.

All runs should have an area for your bunny to shelter if the weather changes.

Access to the whole area of the run by a good sized well placed door is essential.

Choose a run with sufficient length and head room for your breed of rabbit.

Breeding Quarters:

If you intend breeding your bunnies then choose a large hutch as it will have to house mother and babies for at least six weeks.

If you intend breeding often then a hutch with a larger than normal private section is required.
